This adorable child is constantly moving. It is hard to get a clear photo of her in low light. I was using the auto mode- and ALL of the highlights were totaly blown. :(
What to do?
I tried about a million things in Photoshop and finally got something that sort of works. I had to layer different filter modes and really work the image- but I ended up with something usable.

She's beautiful and I love the shots you have played with - those little shoes of hers are doing something for me too. :)
Have fun with your box in the following post - looking pretty good there. . .

This is amazing, Zeborah . . . I LOVE what you did to make this photo such a winner!!!! I 'm so impressed with your digital talents!!!!!
I've really learned a lot in my classes from Jessica at Cre8it. I LOVE playing with my camera and using Photoshop.
Zeb--have you played with levels? That often is the answer for rescuing a photo like this one! She is a sweetie!
In my experience, when an image is that badly blown out, and is out of focus to boot, just using one type of adjustment is rarely the answer.
I usually start with levels on something with badly blown highlights- but end up using a lot of other options too. I have good luck working with the curves sliders at times, but not always.
I often have to do a lot of color corrections by the time I'm satisfied with the results.
It's still not a good photo technically, but it is cute now and made her mommy happy. :)
